All right, I’m finally starting to go through your sets one by one. I see a lot of familiar faces from previous years, but also many new contestants
Please forgive me if I don’t react to each one with a like, a share, or a comment—because a year ago, that almost “cost” me a permanent ban on SoundCloud. I’m writing this as a sort of apology because I know from experience how much feedback—or the lack thereof—means

 

[Boriz Vicious]

Wow, I wasn't expecting this—best of luck, bro!

Hello to the entire Afterhours.FM family and the global Trance community!
I’d like to take this moment to send a huge thank you to the entire Afterhours team and every listener keeping the global Trance scene alive. It’s incredible to see the unconditional support for talent from all over the world, and this contest (EOYC 2026) is living proof of that.
Huge congratulations and the best of success to all the participants; listening to this year's entries has been a true journey, and it’s an absolute honor to share this space with so many great artists competing for one of the 40 spots.
If you haven't listened to it yet, I cordially invite you to press play on my set: NHM - EOYC 2026 Contest (Mix #75).
I’d love to read your thoughts in the comments: Which track or song did you enjoy the most from my session?
Sending you a big hug and warm greetings from Mexico.
See you on the dancefloor, and long live Trance!
— NHM (NaHiM)

 

[Algalon]

Thank you to everyone who listened to my mix and voted it means the world, and I’m looking forward to hearing the winners during EOYC season! I added a lot of new tracks to buy and mix thanks to everyone playing such a diverse style of Trance between sets.

Thanks again to the community organizers as well for always putting this on. Happy holidays to all and see you next year!

 

[DRNMRFT]

First of all: Well done, level bar was set really high this year - lots of sets with interesting concepts, original track selection, and, most importantly, created out of a genuine love for electronic music. I really had to think hard for a while before deciding who to vote for. In my sets, I always try to think outside the box, and I appreciate that in others do this as well. You really went out of your way to make voting a challenge and that is so awesome, on many levels. Regardless, thanks to everyone who took part in the contest—you rock, my friends!

 

[dan]

One big family, 20 years later still we all have the same love which is music. Thank you all for your support, each day we grow stronger together.

Thank you mate for doing comments on the sets, on social medias.
It is a nice touch from you.

I (we) should do that too.

Edit : But I left behind soundcloud a while ago

I (we) should do that too.

I live by the principle: Be polite and treat others with respect. It would be tactless of me, whilst taking part in the competition, to treat the other participants as if they weren’t there
